    I suppose Dale's, because I can easily grab it at the grocery store. NODA Jam Session Pale Ale is a good local brew, too.

    This is a tough one!!! While I certainly enjoy the common answers of Zombie Dust, Alpha King, and Sierra Nevada, I really like Tallgrass 8 Bit and Half Acre Daisy Cutter

    This thread's reminding me that I need to try some fresher Sierra Nevada Pale Ale at some point. I've had it once at a restaurant but people must not order it very often there, since the bottle I got was nearly a year old if I'm remembering right... and though what was there was good, the hop flavors were definitely not as prominent compared to the other (very fresh, two months old at the most) pale ales I've had.

    I was blown away by how aromatic and juicy the regular version is. I can't even imagine what the double dry hopped version must be like.

    So HF or 3Fs offerings are obvious great answers but I can't buy those local. Mo is available but too expensive for a PaleAle in my book.

    Can't go wrong with SN or FirestoneWalker for price, taste, and availability .... but sounds like from thread I need to give BurningRiver a try soon

    I've never had that, but dislike it based on the fact it's in bombers. I enjoy my Pale Ale's in 6 to 12 twelve ounce servings :slight_smile:

    This one is easy, PseudoSue.
    Red chair, Dales etc are all good too but nothing's as good as PS.
